Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1221299A2] A method and apparatus (10) for acquiring and processing electrical signals produced by a patient's heart. The apparatus (10) includes fewer than ten electrodes for attachment to the patient. Each electrode (12) is attached in a respective one of the standard ten-electrode, twelve-lead ECG positions. The device includes a signal processor (20) connected to the electrodes (12) for acquiring electrical signals from the electrodes (12) and generating a twelve-lead ECG from the electrical signals. The signal processor (20) generates less than twelve of the leads mathematically. For the method of the invention, a plurality of less than ten electrodes (12) are attached to the patient (14). Each electrode (12) is attached in a respective one of the standard ten-electrode, twelve-lead ECG positions. Electrical signals are acquired from the electrodes (12) and a twelve-lead ECG is generated from the acquired electrical signals. Not all twelve leads are generated mathematically. <IMAGE>
